Programme 6: Ballygarrett

This week, Podge and Jo Ussher want to turn their Wexford cottage from a holiday home into their permanent home without sacrificing any of its 1930s charm. Their house needs a lot of work. They don't have a proper kitchen or dining room. When their grandchildren visit it gets really cramped so they also need another bedroom.

Dermot has a real affinity with the area. "I spent a lot of time down in Wexford as a child, I love the proportions of the buildings and the landscape, it's so unspoilt here".

Dermot's challenge is to create space by reconfiguring and extending Podge and Jo's cottage, while striking a balance between its 1930s vernacular architecture and that of a brand new 21st century annex.

It's a delicate business - balancing old and new, can Dermot pull it off? Tune in to find out.

This is the last programme in the current series but Room to Improve will be back and the producers are currently looking for people to take part.
